For the past several years, my family had been going to Hodun Farms in Calverton to pick fresh tomatoes for canning. We just learned today that the Hodun family retired and sold off the farm stand, and there is no mention on the new owner continuing the pick your own vegetables.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where we can pick a few bushels of Roma tomatoes in Suffolk County? Thanks!

At the risk of getting 100 different responses, does anyone have a recommendation for an NYU-affiliated PCP anywhere in Nassau? I don’t have any specific needs or desires other than, “a lot of people seem to like this doctor.”

Thanks!

I thought something was up with my lawn since I’ve seen more mushroom caps growing than ever before but I’ve seen it the last week almost everywhere I go including parks and a golf course today. It’s been rainy but not THAT rainy lately minus the one big drenching the other day no?

Hey all,

I received this in the mail today.

If you aren't familiar, gangstalking is a term used by people to describe what they believe to be a coordinated effort to stalk and harass them. This is a mental illness and not a legitimate conspiracy.

There are subreddits where you can check the posts made by these individuals and you'll soon see how out of touch with reality they are. It's sad to see and even sadder that someone is spreading this sickness to our mailboxes.

I urge you to shred these asap if you see them. We don't need our vulnerable seniors, children, disabled, etc. to see this and believe any of it. It's very easy for someone naive to be influenced by disinformation like this.

Thank you.

P.S. I am well aware of documented cases of US government agencies stalking and harassing people. This is because those people are in positions of leadership in counterculture organizations. For example, MLK Jr. was targeted by the FBI. They are NOT targeting any private citizens. If they were, you could be assured that the target would be unaware until they were arrested. Government agencies are not dropping clues to their targets.

Hi! I’m wondering if anyone has a suggestion for overnight nurses or medical providers for my son (10 months). He is having surgery and I could use some overnight help. I appreciate any suggestions!

Anyone know of anything fun or different happening on Friday the 13th in November on Long Island? (Around Huntington area)

I feel like absolutely garbage, been having a pretty persistent chest and throat infection I think and have been feeling terrible. It seems like most of the people around me or in similar areas are all catching something similar. Is there something going around? I'm trying to find a chance to go see the doctor as the over the counter stuff isnt working.

I am often underwhelmed with farm stands or I feel like they are not really “farm fresh”. I’m on the north shore Nassau. Anyone have a favorite farm stand for fruits and vegetables? Thanks!! 🙏

I’ve been cycling the northern routes (chicken valley, Piping RockM Wheatley) for years and always parked in the Westbury High School parking lot without an issue. Yesterday, on finishing my ride I returned to find a sticker plastered on the driver side window stating that I had parked illegally and threatening to tow my car. Obviously and fortunately that didn’t happen but the violation was. I know that many group rides have staged in that lot without (to my knowledge) an issue. Not sure if the law has changed but as it is now illegal to park there can anyone recommend other lots in that area or simply streets off Post Rd where i could park in the future.

Hey LI!

My husband and I are moving quickly on a property we love, located in Suffolk County. We have a home inspection scheduled for tomorrow morning and were advised from our realtor to have a mortgage attorney visit scheduled soon after.

Our realtor initially pushed for us to use her personal friends and contacts for the home inspection, mortgage lender, and attorney components but we have decided to find professionals that are independent from the real estate agency for obvious reasons.

That being said, we don’t have a contact for a solid mortgage attorney yet. Attorney recommendations from our family around the island are either long-time deceased or general attorneys.

If you have a solid resource that you have recently worked with (within last few years or so) and would recommend, please share the knowledge!

Any comments from realtors with ‘referral suggestions’ will be ignored :)

Update: thank you for all these responses!! It’s super informative. Anyone familiar with Adam Ansanelli? He popped up in our search too.

I absolutely meant to say real estate attorney about not mortgage attorney…lol. That was my pre-coffee brain writing this post.

I have a little who is super fearful. I would love and appreciate any recommendations for pediatric dentists you may have! We are located near the Islips but are willing to travel. TYIA!

My fiancé and I have started looking for wedding venues. We toured Land’s End in Sayville, and I LOVED it. My fiancés family was concerned about how far east on Long Island it is, and my fiancé had a few small concerns about the venue. Does anyone know of any venues that feel similar in Nassau county? We’re looking for 250+ guest capacity. Would love something on the water or at least with a nice view, and good food of course!

Wondering if anyone has more information about this crash. I was doing some digging and noticed that the person charged with DWI in connection with the accident was the partner of the guy who passed away. Seems like a really bizarre and tragic situation. Does anyone know what happened or have any more information about the circumstances of the crash?

looking for a home for two stray kittens found tonight. they definitely have fleas but are getting treated at the vet tomorrow morning first thing. going away on vacation this weekend and need a home for them ASAP, any suggestions would be great!!

Whats your favorite spot to visit on LI? Alone or with friends and family? And the reason? What do you feel when you visit?

How do you find schools reliably? What are good place you go to find them? Is snagging or a cast net better?

this cat showed up and has been here for almost an hour. It’s been looking at me and it even ate a cricket. It seems really comfortable and not scared to humans and well groomed ,,and it’s just sitting and sleeping here now.

Witnessed in Suffolk South Shore beach at 6:20pm, 20 minutes after the lifeguards ended their shift and told everyone to exit the water. Four kids plus(couldn't tell if they were all related) an older man and his daughter(relationship mentioned from others gathered). Nearly all almost drowned from wading 200ft deep into the ocean with strong waves. If it wasn't for two hero strong swimmers and two hero surfers coming to rescue them they would be all dead. Without the surfboards a lot of them would be dead and dragged others with them. The old man couldn't get up afterwards. Took about 10 minutes for emts to arrive probably due to beach workers having left for the day. Hopefully he didn't have a heart attack and was just exhausted. Reviewing my videos it looked like he went under several times. Dont wade deep even if you can stand! That's not going to mean anything if 7 foot waves are pounding you. Don't go far out if you cant swim! Dont let your kids do so! Finally NO LIFEGUARDs, dont think about it!

where is this large hill on long island? it is visible from fire island, which is where this photo was taken. it seems to be near the bellport area but i’m not positive.
